Mark grew up in the western suburbs of Minnesota in the music scene before spending ten years living in Japan as an English teacher. While in Japan, he was at an international preschool, where they were hiring a guitar music player, learning English through music, which started his path to teaching music. In 2016 he created “Play with Music” on Saturday mornings in the Longfellow neighborhood. When he’s not teaching music, he spends time with his 10-year-old Leo and 2.5 yr old Mimi and his wife Naomi hiking and playing tennis at Cherokee Park. You can see Mark perform with his band, Lazear. They play around locally around town in the Twin Cities.
